    I`ve been using plastic storage drawers that I picked up from Wal Mart to store all of my pads, MF towels, and the rest of my detailing tools that I don`t want to drop on the floor. However, yesterday I found a moth sitting under a pile of MF towels and now I`m looking for something with a little more protection (or more so an excuse to get something bigger to fit my supplies in). So if you know of a good affordable stand up storage locker that has worked great for you it`d be awesome :madgrin:

    Different approach that I"ll mention anyhow- my "working MFs" (as opposed to my new/unopened ones) and other towels are kept in rubbermaid trash cans that sit on casters; I have a scad of `em in different sizes and colors and I find it handy to be able to move them around as needed.



    I still keep my pads/etc. in the plastic drawers though.

    I have a vertical storage bin on rollers that I keep most of my garage towels and mitts in.





    And a hamper for the dirty ones.





    My polishers and pads are in a roll-around cart.

    For towels and pads, I have 2 Sterilite white plastic drawers - Although I am quite happy with them, I am looking at upgrading to built-in drawers (low priority though). I also have a Sterilite storage locker for all my products that performs below average (if not terrible). The all-plastic frame is ok but the plastic shelving has bowed downward only after a few months.

    Gotta love those white Sterilite storage bins! I have three large 3 drawer ones and they are key to keeping my supplies organized. IIRC this time of year ought to be a great time to find them in stores due to back to school. Got mine at Target.

    Seems the sterilite drawers are working for everyone, I might just have to get a standing locker and put my drawers in it. At least until I move away from the bug-infested outback of NC :-/

    Are the moths likin` MF towels? I would have never guessed.



    I use the plastic storage boxes, too. I`ve drilled (3/4" hole saw) holes in the sides so they can breath a bit. Haven`t found any bugs or other worries...yet.

    Huh..me either.

    Those 3/4" holes would be a bit rodent-access-friendly for me if critters are a concern.

    This was the first I`ve found in my MF`s ever, however I`ve been living in NC for only a year. Before NC I lived in AK and ND which combined don`t have as many bugs and critters as this place does.

    Some years ago I got a basket from a hamper delivery. I use this basket now for storage. It`s quite useful, because I can use it in various ways At the moment I use it to store the towels and tools. But I have to admit that I`m not really satisfied with this solution and I`m looking for other methods for storage.
